I am a Quality Control Manager at a chemical factory. I still get to "play" in the lab once in a while, and no I am not a "Mad Scientist". Just a little cranky once in a while when things don't work out right. I am married to an accountant so I know how funny those CPAs can be.

 

Paperwork is my life. Gotta love it. BUT the perks are incredible- my morning commute is down a flight of steps and I only work two full days and 2 hours a day the other 3. That gives me the freedom without bosses I crave.

Actually, I think its about beer thirty right now- my work is done.

 

Kind of sounds like an oxymoron. Is someone being sarcastic?!!!?

 

I'm retired from the US Coast Guard (Law Enforcement/Intel assignments) now a struggling CAR-toonist , volunteer art instructor at our local grade school, and house-dad for my 2 son (7 & 12).

I'm also married to an audit partner in a big four CPA firm, so I've been forced to understand that "funny" auditing world, too.

 

I am beginning to see a horrible Accountant / Mustang pattern emerging here

I was just gonna say...
Do all people that dabble with Money or computers love Mustangs? Guess its a good thing

 

Many times when people ask "What do I do?" I respond the way the 'Bandit' did whan 'Frog' (Sally Field) asked him the same question . . . . .

"Drive Fast, Have Fun"!

 

Product Engineer for low voltage power distribution sections; powerpanels and switchboards.

Your house runs on 200amps. Take that breaker box, enlarge so its roughly 8 feet high and pumps 800-5000amps through it...I design that. Used in hospitals, schools, mini-malls, manufacturing plants, etc...etc...

 

I'm a server at one of the busiest Outback Steakhouses in the country.

I'm also starting my 4th year of college, majoring in Radiology.

 

nice

what type of work are you planning to get after school?

what is radiology exactly?

im about to start my 4th year also B)

 

All I am going to say is that I work at a fortune 500 company that is exactly like Innitech from Office Space. Yes, we even have TPS reports! I have 4 supervisors, 5 quality control analysts, and 2 managers bothering me every single day. That being said, I spend at least 4 hours of work time surfing the internet a day.

I have 5 more classes to get my degree in elem education. Thank the Lord!

 

wow, we have 3 future educators on this board

 

I am a part time DJ for a company called in the mix on the weekends,....I do house maintenance (7am-4pm) weekdays, also auto repair(6pm-9pm) and since I like to cook I'll hopefully be working at my uncle's restaurant, I basically don't have time for anything.

 

Electrical Engineer for a semiconductor company.

I'm in the automotive division. That being said, the most exciting thing I get to see it the next generation coil-on-plug system for BMW...whoopee.

 

Well, anything that'll pay me well, pretty much!

And, in a basic nutshell, it's working with x-rays, etc.

 

I am a mechanical engineer working as a Jr. with a custom steel machinery manufacterer

I wouldn't mind getting back into automotive, just hard getting that big break

 

Here is the fun part!

I have my own business. I do work for my husbands company on contract.
I do AR, and the woman in Orlando does AP. If someone is being a deadbeat, I can cut them off, and we won't do more work till they pay up. Why accept work if they aren't going to pay you right?
Yesterday we had Thunderstorms- that means Telephone systems without UPS backup are good to go south due to lightning. One of my deadbeats called in for work, and I turned it down- Guess who is STILL angry with me?
